Trophy (for the) Wife

While I have been using Samsung Focus for my Enterprise Phone, I actually do plan on Getting my Wife the Trophy when it comes out on Verizon.

I've played with both and the Samsung is absolutely the better Phone from a hardware standpoint (AMOLED is the only way to go for small displays now and the expandable storage was a big deal for me as well) but from a Useability standpoint both are running the same excellent UI and O/S.

However Verizon has better reception for both voice and data in our region and we have several phones on a family plan so it will be easier to just upgrade her to the Trophy when it comes out.

At that point hopefully I can keep her from swiping my Focus to play xBox Live Games...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
yeah where I am (NJ) Verizon and AT&T are pretty comparable as far as signal and such go. And I really like the SAMOLED and expandable storage option....but part of me wants to see if the Omnia 7 is coming to Verizon, but at the same time AT&T is going to be slightly cheaper for me...ugh decisions, decisions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
In that case, go with the Focus - it won't disappoint in the slightest. Personally I prefer the O7 in terms of look (and definitely feel) but as you say the Focus has the SD slot which I would have loved.

Not sure, it's something that's been floating around for a while I believe.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
i hope verizon gets more than one wp7 at launch i have the touch pro 2 now and my screen is cracked, battery life is terrible and its on its last legs, i really dont like all touch screen phones i prefer the slide out physical qwerty but i just might be desperate to to get the this phone because i desperately need a upgrade
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Samsung Focus for sure. Very good battery life. Absolutely amazing pictures. NAND memory. Excellent screen. Super this.

Best WP7 device by leaps and bounds IMO. Have one off contract, but wish Sprint had something similar. Will likely get the Arrive, despite hating the form factor. I would jump ship to AT&T for the Focus, but my phone bill would nearly double.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
I feel your pain, My display is cracked too...I wish it cracked at the bottom of the display, it might be more usable for email (hard to read text sometimes toward the top).

I'm in the same boat with WP7, I'm not sure if I can hold out longer myself...but, I would love a physical keyboard....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
decided to stick it out and wait on the Trophy...and hope they annouce the omnia 7 as well. Between the cancellation fee and the price of the phone and my work discount not being as big on AT&T, it just makes more sense to wait. Though the Focus is really the phone I want, I can't justify $350 to switch carriers. I just wish my contract ended sooner than December...
[Windows Phone 7 General] doejohn531:
That's how I felt about switching. My contract is also up in December. However I decided that if I could get an inbetween phone for less than 200 I would. I ended up getting a Surround on Craigslist for $180. I'll just keep this till my contract runs out then upgrade to a phone I really want.

That being said however, I love my Surround. Great phone and 10x better than my old Tilt 2.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bippo:
Trophy 16GB!!

I see the Trophy has 16GB!! intern memory, not as specified on HTC site!!!:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Yep, it was shown with the 16gb on the Microsoft Employee promo, so it has been assumed that the Verizon version will have the 16gb MicroSD in it.

If it does have the HTC SLCD display like some people are claiming, it might be a worthy phone, as engadget did a compare with the AMOLED display and said they were very close to each other. SLCD was a little poorer in the battery life area but, not that bad.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/13/spot-the-difference-htc-desires-slcd-versus-amoled/

Only downfall I can see besides no QWERTY keyboard is a 1300mah battery, other WP7 models are giving a 1500+. It could be a major impact on batter life depending on your uses. Just hope it has the FM radio, like claimed but, Verizon is known for cutting it out of phones.

I've been out of a contract for a while, I might get this but, I really wanted a WP7 device with a keyboard, I guess it all depends on what is given at the press release.

Here's the MS image showing the 16gb on it... (Source: Engadget/Winrumors)
[Windows Phone 7 General] tanders04:
Well this is just my $.02 but I think you'll find that you won't miss the physical QWERTY. One of the things I happiest with on my focus is how well the WP7 softkeybord works.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
I've heard the WP7 on screen keyboard is great but, I have always had issues with onscreen keyboards due to my larger thumbs, so it could be a problem but, I can't try till I get one.

[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
So I am trying to piece together what works best so far for the Nook Color. It seems that the compatibility of OSes go in this order:

1. Rooted Eclair - videos works, apps work, everything works

2. Nookie Froyo- some apps don't work

3. CM7- some apps don't work, video playing using internal GPU doesn't work

4. Honeycomb- many apps dont work, videos don't work, just basically a demo

Do I have that right?

And with that question asked, does it seem like any version will eventually reach feature parity with the rooted Eclair version?
[Nook Color General] lekofraggle:
I am not sure about feature parity, I do know when I was on 2.2, Zinio worked and it does not work on the stock rom. I think the stock rom will gain features like flash whn bn updtes to 2.2.

My guess is the closest will be CM in a final release.

Leko
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Your assessment looks fairly accurate.

Based on my past experience with with CM on other devices, I expect it will exceed the stock OS in all at areas in the near future.
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
Froyo has more working apps, for the simple fact it has flash and quite a few apps require flash. I've only come across maybe one app that didn't work in froyo but did in eclair (but only in 1.0.1)
[Android Apps and Games] wrapkgb:
I am in need of a working AOSP email app that will work with my exchange account. Here's what I got.. EVO running CM7 with the latest nightly, and my exchange server is 2007. Mow here is my problem, when I fill in the appropriate information I select SSL and accept all certificates but it will then say "the exchange server requires security features your phone does not support." And this is only with the AOSP mail client. HTC and touchdown work fine. Now my question is, does anyone know a work around to get my exchange to connect? I don't want an email apk that has removed any security features or anything like that. I have searched but all I have found are mail apks that are modded to remove the pin (which doesnt help me). I just want a stock mail apk that will work! Lol I going crazy. Not sure if I will ever find a way to get this to work but I figured I'd give one more try with you guys! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Jirv311:
I know this is old but I'm having the same thing happen now. Running MIUI, email was working fine the other day, then I'm guessing our Exchange Admins ran an update or made a change that caused any AOSP mail client to work. I've tried flashing to CM7 and that mail client does not work, however, the stock Samsung client does. I also made an Email.apk for MIUI and CM7 that both bypass Exchange security that I've tried and neither of those work now.

What are we missing here?

I am running MIUI 1.9.9 and I have the stock email app working fine with my work Exchange server. It eats the hell out of my battery but it is work fine.

OK, so I've decided that, thanks to some great suggestions, I'm going to use unrEVOked to root my phone and use Amon_RA to backup my present vanilla setup and RSA partition.

Problem is, while unrEVOked is a one-click solution for the Mac, I've not been able to find comprehensive directions on how to use Amon_RA, nor a "reliable" place to download.

I could be overlooking something, but even with several site searches and Google searches, I've come up empty-handed.

Can I get a lil' help?

Here is the thread you need.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
Stickied in General: http://htcevorooting.x10.mx/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

This is the guide I used a few months ago to root with my mac and set up Amon Ra.

for unrevoked. Above post should get you setup with RA, but once you root, but you can just download ROM manager and click "flash alternate recovery." That will flash RA, although I'm not positive it's been updated to the newest version of RA yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyArmstrong:
This guide seems to be more comprehensive and has pretty much all I need/want to know.

While the Amon_RA threads that folks have referenced are helpful, this one seems (to me) better for my purposes...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
Glad to help! I just checked the most recent ROM Manager since I noticed mine was updating. Under flash alternate recovery it says not available, so you might have to follow the directions in the RA thread.

Just go the the first post of that thread and find the PC36IMG.zip file and download it. Put it on the root of your SD card, power the phone off and turn it back on by holding power + volume at the same time. Once hboot comes up, it will automatically check your sd card for an PC36IMG.zip files and ask you if you want to "update." Just follow the directions on the screen and it will install RA for you.

These instructions are also in the first post of the Amon RA thread and maybe in the guide I linked for you.

This is a life saver. And the fact that you can select some contacts where the names doesn't match perfectly makes this better than the official FB sync.

Thanks for posting this. However, there is one pretty big flaw, at least in my opinion. There's no option to prevent the app from overwriting contact icons that I manually set on my own. This can be annoying as many people have stupid pictures set as their profile pics on facebook.

I've done some searches, and found that I have to decrease the size of my initrd, but not sure what else to strip from it, and also my zImage is base built, and the size really doesn't change whenever I change any options in menuconfig.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Ok, the original question of this thread has been solved, but a new question...

I used the vogue.config file provided from the git, but everytime I flash the kernel, it just shows a black screen?

Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or better yet, any developer able to provide their .config file that they know works, so I can take a look what I'm configuring incorrectly and correct it? :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
I use the default vogue config, then I use tinboot but I use the initrd.lzma from bootenv since sometimes people update that and forget to update tinboot. Then, after I have an image, I use atools to edit. I always resize the NAND partitions so that /system is almost completely full, and set /system and /data to auto so I can experiment with sdcard /data without reloading the kernel. I could probably find a way to set those in the build so I don't need to run atools, but I just use what I know works.

I haven't used my own kernel build since February 10. I have been using l1q1d's experimental kernel. I have seen kernel updates since then but haven't even checked to see what they are.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Thanks! Using the default initrd.lzma did the trick. Now if only the bootenv git was updated with this compressed initrd. xD

Currently using a custom kernel I built. Made some changes to yaffs2, mtd, and NAND configuration. Had a crash on initial boot, did a soft reset and phone came back with no corruption, and my "bad block 160" went away. I'm currently testing it for 24hrs, then if all goes well, I'm going to go a week and report back. :)

Though currently I have no bluetooth, as the module isn't loading.. Will look into that, and try and see if it's build related, and if the module can be loaded manually.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
if you use the bluetooth as module it doesn't works, probably because it doesn't enable on boot the correct hardware part. You need to select it as built-in.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Currently bluetooth is not my concern, though I did get it running, by loading the modules manually using 'modprobe', but I have no idea how well the bluetooth subsystem works in its current state, but it does turn on, and do a search of nearby devices.

My main concern is my NAND configuration. So far no issues as of yet, but will know more when 1.5days elapses. Had an issue last night with the phone app crashing with acore failing, but coming back after rebooting the phone with no data loss.

Gmail app also crashed, but after 2 crashes it reloaded (possibly some data loss), and started re-syncing my email.

Besides those two, no real issues yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
What have you changed, just options in the defconfig?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Enabled yaffs ECC support, but forced it to use the same ECC as the NAND driver. Enabled NAND ECC support inside the driver itself, as well as other changes.

Also left block refreshing, background processing, and left force chunk erase check enabled.

Had to disable EXT2, and EXT4 file system support to decrease kernel size, but for my case, don't need them as I'm using full NAND install anyways.

Currently approaching 18hrs, with no issues, installed more apps with no issues with corruption, still getting random FCs with core apps, but they re-enable afterwards (Most likely isolated, so not a real concern at the moment). Once i approach 18hrs, I'll do a safe reboot, and see what happens there.

My bad block 160 came back, but that's the only bad block that has returned, no new ones as of yet.

I'm hoping to concentrate my efforts on working on cpu scaling, whether it be using CPUFreq, or a kernel hack... I'm actually interested in knowing how Myn got his Rogue Tools to adjust the CPU Scale dynamically. As I'm thinking (though horrible at coding), of writing a kernel module to dynamically adjust the CPU core based on activity of the core.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
If you ask Myn nicely he might send you a link to his sources. I believe he modified the kernel parameter in /sys or /proc (I always get those two confused). I know that the battery parameters with which i am most familiar can be modified dynamically that way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
I'll most likely contact Myn first chance I get. Been busy with family matters as of late.

Built a new kernel yesterday morning, and showing promise. Phone goes into a very deep sleep now (literally have to wait 5-10 seconds for the phone to respond like when a PC wakes from suspend), and actually shows improvement in battery life while in sleep mode but massive increase in battery usage when phone is waking, so may have to change how the phone sleeps.

Phone stability has increased as well. Despite the slow time it takes to wake, the phone has yet to crash, or slow down performance wise.

NAND is also showing improvement. Did a soft reset last night, phone restarted without problem, and no loss of data or any yaffs tragedy errors. Still installing apps at the moment. Data partition is at 45MB out of 101MB.

Free RAM is at 35MB while on home screen.

Currently using Radio 1.70.19.09, and HardSPL 3.56.

If all goes well, tonight I may post my kernel flavor as well. :)

*EDIT* Anyway that the bootenv git repo be updated with what's being used in initrd.lzma file? O.o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tiagoclc:
Something went wrong?

I'm eager to test the kernel you have prepared.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Currently running into a problem with the acore being corrupted, which doesn't make since as it's in /system.

I'm testing out having CompCache running but not JIT, as each time acore gets messed up the JIT was enabled.

If all goes well tomorrow, I may post the updated kernel and and androidupdate.tgz file with modules.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
And now, I haven't been able to build a kernel that fits for quite a while.

The initrd.lzma is larger than I remember:

bootenv: 1011446 bytes

tinboot: 1011027 bytes

bootenv/initrd, smallest I can pack it is 1012491 bytes.

And zImage is 2006008 bytes.

I tried to make a smaller initrd.lzma by replacing all the duplicate files with symbolic links. That resulted in 1012491 bytes. I tried using hard links, but ended up with 1582661 bytes. I even tried unpacking the tinboot/initrd.lzma and repacking it, but no success.

An extract from RogueTools source code:

String outputFreq = "echo \"" + strFreq

+ "\" > /sys/module/clock_7x00/parameters/a11\n";
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
Can parted be moved from initrd to the android rom?

That saves a ton of space, and allows all to fit.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
NO, parted is needed for atools - sd partitioner, i change both the 2.6.25 and the 2.5.32 to lzma initrd for it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
I haven't had a problem with repacking initrd.lzma. I've kept mine below 975KBs, which is perfect for me.

Also as far as using what Rogue Tools uses, I've determined it wouldn't be a good system to code, as it requires to phone to sleep first before the new clock settings take effect. :(

I'll continue to look into the cpu coding, to find why scaling is not being recognized by the kernel. For now, I'm going to try and downclock the cpu core to 250MHz to see how much of a difference I get in battery life, but I suspect I won't get much since the voltage isn't being changed. :(
